BoardCalc Support

10-Feb-2014
Android SawlogCalc v3.1.0 released. The table version of
the Scribner Decimal C log rule has been added (formerly
only had the formula version). A new custom species list
has been added where you can enter your own species
names and densities. Fixed an odd bug that lost the
value of the log serial number if SawlogCalc was started
up with two or more tallies saved. Changed layout so
that a 7" tablet comes up with three panes rather than
two in screen size "auto".

17-Dec-2013 The Palm and Windows versions of BoardCalc
are no longer for sale. There just isn't much interest
in these any more. They will continue to be available to
anyone who has already purchased them, of course, and
the web pages for them will remain to make downloads
available.

3-Dec-2013 Android BoardCalc
v3.0.13 released. Fixed layout for tablets to
display correctly in portrait orientation for 7"
tablets. Fixed fractions to display symmetrically above
and below fraction bar on all devices. Fixed a problem
with screen size Small in landscape orientation where a
long press on any of the right five memory registers
would cause a force close. Rounding a fraction or
changing the number of decimal places displayed will now
go into recent history. Results in recent history also
now show rounding. Added font size 22 (new largest font)
to recent history and help. Fixed settings: recent
history font size so that changing the font size of
recent history from settings would kick in immediately
when the recent history pane is showing.

25-Jan-2013 Android
SawlogCalc v3.0.2 released. Fixed screen table entries to
fix 5" displays. Portrait and Landscape were reversed,
rendering both unusable. Added 'undelete' to the Tally
List screen. Any deleted tally can be recovered for the
next hour of app run time. Log serial numbers have been
changed: a new number higher than all others will only be
generated when a new tally is created (it used to happen
every time the sawlog page was brought up). Fixed text
display in buttons of sawlog on small screens, no longer
mangled.

19-Dec-2012 Android BoardCalc v3.0.11 released.
Changed the calculator display to reduce the size of text
if a result is too long to fit in the display. Text size
while entering parts of a calculation will still be full
size and can run off the left side of the screen, but the
result after pressing '=' will always be completely
visible.

1-Dec-2012 Android BoardCalc v3.0.10 released.
Layouts on single screens changed to fill all available
space. Title bar now shows up on all but smallest devices.
Monthly licensing checks removed from paid version.

3-June-2012 Android Boardcalc v3.0.9 released. Added
an option to choose what a whole number with no fraction
or decimal point is taken as: fraction or decimal. Fixed a
bug where entering a number with a decimal point and
nothing following would result in a display overflow.
Extended the table of prime numbers used to reduce
fractions up to 127, so that metric fractions would reduce
all the way properly.

10-Apr-2012 Android BoardCalc v3.0.8 released. This
version adds a screen size for 5" tablets, and fixes two
bugs: rounding of fractions not working after changing
Audible or Screen size settings, and scrolling finger off
of lowest half of lowest memory register into blank space
causing Force Close.

21-Mar-2013 An Android® version of the
Calculator was released to Google Play. It supports
Android 2.1 and above, on any device with a touch screen
2.8" or larger (including tablets). This is an updated
version of the general-purpose calculator from the
Palm/Windows suite. The log weight calculator is under
construction, release in summer of 2012. More: Android BoardCalc

Known Issues in SawlogCalc
version 3.0.2 (Android)

The serial number of the log in the calculator is lost
the next time the program is started up, if there are
two or more tallies saved.

Known Issues in SawlogCalc
version 3.0.1 (Android)

On the smallest devices, if One Pane is selected, all
buttons appear but the text in some of them is mangled.
Fixed in v3.0.2.

On 5" devices, the screen will be a mess. Portrait and
Landscape are swapped, making both unusable. As a
temporary work-around, select a size of two panes in
settings and use in portrait orientation. Fixed in
v3.0.2.

Known Issues in BoardCalc
version 3.0.10 and 3.0.11 (Android)

Display does not fit a 7" tablet screen correctly.
Some buttons at bottom are partially or entirely
obscured. Fixed in v3.0.13

Any device set to size Small and used in landscape
orientation, on the memory register page, will force
close if a long press is done on any of the five upper
memory registers, those on the right side of the screen.
Fixed in v3.0.13.

Known Issues in BoardCalc
version 3.0.8 (Android)

Entering any value that has a decimal point with
nothing after will result in an overflow. For example,
2.= results in an overflow. Fixed in v3.0.9

Known Issues in BoardCalc
version 3.0.7 (Android)

After changing the setting of "Audible" or "Screen
size", rounding of a fraction will only flip between
1/64th and none, skipping 1/32nd, 1/16th, etc. Rotating
the screen will clear this. Fixed in v3.0.8.

On a non-tablet, memory register page, if there is
extra space below register 9, touch the bottom half of
register 9 and scroll finger down off of register.
Causes a Force Close. Fixed in v3.0.8

Known Issues in BoardCalc
version 2.2a (Palm)

On the About screen, just under the version, it says
"TEST VERSION". Not so, this really is the release
version.

Known Issues in BoardCalc
version 2.1 (Palm OS):

Status bar icons, keyboard and virtual graffiti area
drawn with wrong colors on a Tungsten T3 (and probably
others) - thanks to archalphabet for turning this in

The Shrinkage calculator can become confused between
radial and tangential shrinkage. If radial shrinkage
is chosen, and then the page is changed to the general
calculator or the log calculator, returning to the
shrinkage calculator will show the numbers for radial
shrinkage but will display Tangent in the selector
window.

The Calculator and List screens can not all be
seen if BoardCalc is run on a high resolution screen
(1400 x 1050) under Windows XP. The same problem may
cause BoardCalc to never appear on the PC screen -
it is being located far far off the right end of the
display. Window sizing does not work correctly in
this situation either.

Known Issues in BoardCalc
version 2.0 (Palm OS):

If the list add button (->L) is pressed in the
Log Weight/Yield calculator when the list is empty,
the calculator beeps as if something went wrong, even
though the weight and yield are added to the list
correctly.

In the general calculator, if a dimension in feet is
entered, something is entered after it, and then
backspace is pressed, the units of feet are also lost.
For example, enter 1' + 123, press backspace. Result
should be 1' + 12 but instead it is 1 + 12.

In the general calculator, if the first of two
dimensions to add or subtract is entered in feet,
metric math refuses to work even though it should. For
example, 1' + 5cm = beeps and does not complete.

Pressing MR in the Log Weight Estimator puts a
mangled string into the recent calculations page.

In the Shrinkage Calculator, backspace removes the
last remaining digit in any display, but the display
does not change. For example, in any field enter 123
and press <BS> three times. The '1' remains, but
pressing another number will enter that number and the
'1' will disappear.

On the sort page, if both one of the 'show' boxes is
changed and a different type of sort is selected, the
'show' change will be honored but the sort will not.
Sorting again with the same settings will do the sort
correctly.
